When beginning to exist (a few hours after his parents felt fruity one
February evening in Hampshire 1974) Graham decided he was already where
he wanted to be for the rest of his existence. Just under a year later,
after an unpleasant experience involving a modicum of rubber and being
pushed through a small aperture, his sex was determined and the label
"Graham" was assigned.
Experimenting with music and computers from an early age he had found
his niche and progressed from there, getting involved with dance music
in the early 1990’s. Around the age of fifteen, Graham - by now a keen
and progressive nerd - introduced himself to the Commodore Amiga brand
of home computer. His two main interests (music and computers) were now
able to be combined and he produced music that was not only deeply
personally satisfying, but highly embarrassing.
After being introduced to a talented collection of other Amiga enthusiasts,
he was asked to join them in their group named "LSD" to produce quality free
productions for other users around the world to view. As an alias was
customary in computer circles, he chose to be referred to as "Echo" and
went on to produce music for many group productions, including a highly
acclaimed production called "Jesus On E's".
Since then he has played with lasers, built some PC's, polished the odd
plane, dabbled in the world of soporifics and consumed a rather alarming
amount of toast. Although not a native of Grantham in Lincolnshire,
a considerable amount of time and puberty was spent there lusting after
girls and writing music on computers. He also brushed his teeth, but not
as often as he should have.
Graham now works in Exeter for Nexus Open Systems as a Senior Systems Engineer,
trying to avoid actual work as best he can. Unfortunately this is not the case,
often having to deal with mundane technical support issues involving users
inabilities to understand basic computing concepts and terminology despite
repetitive explanations.
This existence is also shared with the much loved Charlotte in sunny Exeter,
UK, where he enjoys a regular cup of tea, chocolate cake and the sanity provided by
a lack of children.
